About W.A.S.P. 1984 to Headless Tour

W.A.S.P. returns to the stage for their 1984 to Headless Fall 2026 North American Tour, performing live across the U.S. and Canada and paying tribute to the hits from their first four iconic albums. Selected songs from W.A.S.P., The Last Command, Inside the Electric Circus, and The Headless Children promise a true rock 'n' roll spectacle, bringing these albums to life on stage for the first—and only—time in this combined package.

The first five years of a band's career often define its legacy, and W.A.S.P. cemented their place in rock history during this formative period. With their self-titled debut in 1984, followed by The Last Command (1985), Inside the Electric Circus (1987), and The Headless Children (1989), the band established themselves as pioneers of shock rock, theatrical stage shows, and bombastic live spectacles that remain legendary in the world of rock.

"It's hard to express the genuine excitement I feel about the 1984 to Headless U.S. Tour. Performing songs from our first four albums together in a single show is something we've never attempted before. Beyond the music, the entire stage show will bring the album covers to life right before your eyes, complete with the history and bombastic live spectacle that has made W.A.S.P. one of the great theatrical rock bands. Adding KK's Priest to the lineup for the Fall 2026 U.S. shows makes it even more epic. Both bands, together, on the same stage, on the same night—it's going to be an experience fans won't soon forget. This 1984 to Headless Tour is truly one for the rock ages!" — Blackie Lawless

"Great news! KK'S PRIEST is going to be returning to the US and Canada this September and October 2026! We will be teaming up together with metal legends W.A.S.P. and with over 40 shows, this is going to be an epic metal and steel tour featuring lots of Priest classics! We look forward to seeing you all again very soon so please get on board early, we do not want you to miss this one." — K.K. Downing

About W.A.S.P.

Few bands in the history of rock 'n' roll have ever inspired the love, the hate, and the raw emotional impact that W.A.S.P. has had on audiences worldwide. From their beginnings in small Los Angeles venues to sold-out shows across the globe, the band's unique brand of shock rock provoked controversy and captivated fans alike. So provocative were their performances that some countries banned the group from playing live, and religious organizations, city councils, parliaments, and even the U.S. Senate held hearings in an attempt to restrict their music and stage antics.

Frontman and founding member Blackie Lawless has led W.A.S.P. as lead vocalist and primary songwriter since the band's inception. His signature blend of visual, social, and political commentary propelled the group to international prominence, selling millions of records and cementing a legacy of sold-out shows that has spanned four decades.

About KK's Priest

You can't keep a heavy metal legend down. More than a dozen years after guitarist and songwriter K.K. Downing departed Judas Priest—the iconic band he co-founded and played with for 40 years—he was never truly going to retire. As his new album title proclaims, The Sinner Rides Again, Downing has reclaimed the spotlight with renewed vigor.

Metal has been in Downing's veins from the very beginning, growing up in England's Midlands where Judas Priest was born. He chronicled his life in his 2018 autobiography, and his recent induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame further cements his legacy as a pioneering musician, songwriter, and guitarist.

As a founding member of the classic Judas Priest lineup, Downing helped lay the foundation for heavy metal. His unmistakable guitar style, forming one half of a legendary six-string duo, pushed the band to new levels of energy and excitement—a philosophy he now brings to KK's Priest with impassioned results. Fans already thrilled by Downing's return will be excited to know that KK's Priest is hitting the road again for a U.S. and Canada tour in the fall of 2026, joining forces with fellow metal legends W.A.S.P. For Downing, KK's Priest is more than a band—it's a statement of being. His lifelong heavy metal saga continues.
